前列腺癌“劫持”肿瘤相关成纤维细胞通过外泌体MALAT1调控糖代谢重编程的机制研究

Mechanism of prostate cancer“hijacking”cancer-associated fibroblasts to regulate glucose metabolic reprogramming via exosomal MALAT1

  • 摘要: 目的: 阐明外泌体转移性肺腺癌相关转录因子1(MALAT1)介导的前列腺癌(PCa)细胞与癌相关成纤维细胞(CAFs)间相互作用,探究CAFs来源的外泌体MALAT1在PCa糖代谢重编程中的作用及其机制。方法: 分析肿瘤基因组图谱(TCGA)资料,探讨MALAT1在多种肿瘤中的表达模式,尤其是其与PCa的临床关联性。运用单细胞RNA测序(scRNA-seq)及相关技术,研究MALAT1 在介导 PCa 细胞与 CAFs 之间相互作用的机制。过表达 CAFs 细胞中的MALAT1,提取上清外泌体,并与PCa细胞共培养,通过RNA纯化的染色质分离—质谱(ChIRP-MS)等方法,研究外泌体MALAT1在PCa进展中的功能及作用机制。结果: 利用TCGA数据集进行分析,观察到MALAT1与前列腺腺癌、乳腺浸润癌、胆管癌等多种肿瘤恶性程度相关,且与PCa不良预后相关。scRNA-seq分析显示,PCa肿瘤微环境细胞中的CAFs不仅存在PCa分子标记物KLK3,而且MALAT1在CAFs中的表达显著高于PCa细胞,提示PCa细胞能够“驯化”CAFs,并通过CAFs中MALAT1促进PCa进展。进一步地,共培养和ChIRP-MS实验发现外泌体MALAT1通过与PCa糖代谢关键酶的直接结合调控PCa的能量代谢。ChIRP-MS和RNAseq联合分析发现外泌体MALAT1能够与4个糖酵解关键基因(GPI、ALDOC、PGK1、ALDOA)直接结合,从而调控PCa细胞的糖代谢重编程。结论: PCa细胞能够“驯化”CAFs,并通过CAFs释放外泌体MALAT1直接作用于PCa糖酵解关键分子,从而调控糖代谢重编程加速PCa发展。

     

    Abstract: Objective: To elucidate the interaction between prostate cancer (PCa) cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) mediated by exosomal metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), and to explore the role and mechanism of CAFs-derived exosomal MALAT1 in the glucose metabolic reprogramming of PCa. Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data were analyzed to explore the expression pattern of MALAT1 in a variety of tumors, especially its clinical association with PCa. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and related technologies were used to investigate the mechanism of MALAT1 in mediating the interaction between PCa cells and CAFs. MALAT1 was overexpressed in CAFs cells, supernatant exosomes were extracted and co-cultured with PCa cells, and the function and mechanism of action of exosomal MALAT1 in the progression of PCa were investigated by comprehensive identification of RNA-binding proteins by mass spectrometry (ChIRP-MS) and other methods. Results: Using the TCGA dataset, it was observed that MALAT1 was associated with the malignancy degree of various tumors, including prostate adenocarcinoma, breast invasive carcinoma and bile duct carcinoma, as well as with the poor prognosis of PCa. The scRNA-seq analysis showed that not only did KLK3, a molecular marker of PCa, exist in the CAFs in the PCa tumor microenvironment, but also the expression of MALAT1 was significantly higher in CAFs than in PCa cells, suggesting that PCa cells were able to“domesticate”CAFs and promote PCa progression through the MALAT1 in CAFs. Furthermore, co-culture and ChIRP-MS experiments revealed that exosomal MALAT1 regulated the energy metabolism of PCa through direct binding to key enzymes of PCa glucose metabolism, and the combined analysis of ChIRP-MS and RNA-seq revealed that exosomal MALAT1 could directly bind to four key glycolytic genes (GPI, ALDOC, PGK1, ALDOA) to regulate the glucose metabolic reprogramming of PCa cells. Conclusion: PCa cells are able to“domesticate”CAFs and directly act on key PCa glycolytic molecules through the release of the exosomal MALAT1 from CAFs, thereby regulating glucose metabolic reprogramming and accelerating PCa development.
